How can you not love a purse that looks like it belongs in the Museum of Modern Art? The Two-Tone Satchel by Valextra for Holmes & Yang just makes my eyes happy looking at it. The crisp parchment purse is topped off and strapped with black leather and subtle rose tinted gold tone buckles. Not just a pretty face this sharp looking satchel has a roomy leather interior and plenty of pockets to keep everything as neat on the inside as it looks on the outside. If you have $3590 burning a hole in your pocket go to Barneys.com and order one for yourself.

Psst! If you aren’t already in the know, Nordstrom is having their half-yearly sale, so it’s a great time to pick up a designer treat at a bargain price. But it’s also an awesome opportunity to pick up one of their more affordable bags for an ultra low price, like this Lodis Mod Large Clutch. This tricolor clutch comes in two other colors, but I think this pretty pink puts a very feminine edge on a very modern purse. Regularly $108, it’s $71.90 until June 4.

This may be the only Kate Spade purse I would not consider carrying. Sure, this Armadillo Handbag is cute and quirky, but that’s not what I look for in a handbag. In fact, wicker and animal shapes are two things I usually avoid in purses. Oh Kate,  you went so wrong on this one, but everyone makes a mistake once in a while, so you’re forgiven. Available at Kate Spade for $328.

Rather than looking too frilly, the Broadway Butterfly Clutch by Gucci looks rich and classy, even with a large butterfly adorning the lower front flap. The butterfly itself is more modern looking than botanically correct but it is the perfect accent to the gold studded foldover clutch. If you love butterflies, get over to Saks Fifth Avenue and order your very own for $950.

Herringbone, chevron, whatever you want to call it, the pattern on the Ivanka Trump Ivanka Clutch makes for a bag that is all class. The high-contrast print is softened up with brown where you might expect black or charcoal, which makes this clutch much more daytime appropriate than a lot of its competition. If you needed another excuse to pick this purse up, this menswear-inspired print never goes out of style, so this relatively affordable bag will last you for many seasons to come. Get one for $95 at Piperlime.

The schoolyear might be coming to an end soon, but the De L’avion Claire Belted Satchel is a perfectly polished but quirky way to carry around light schoolbooks, documents, or just typical purse contents. Plus, for college gals about to graduate, it’s a cool combo of trendy and professional that would make it ideal for hauling to interviews. It’s also available in a tan and black combo that would be fabulous for fall too. It’s $46.71 at Handbag Heaven.

Well, well, well – look at this bundle of elegance. This Balenciaga Padlock Silver Evening Ottoman combines a dash of divine, a splash sexy and a hint of edgy into one sensational bag. It features silver padlock closure with a snap clasp, silver tone hardware, calfskin leather, an interior zip pocket and a leather framed hand mirror. A purse this beautiful deserves a new slinky dress and some equally dashing shoes to pair with so buyer beware, a shopping spree is a likely side effect with the purchase of this bag! Find it at Balenciaga for $1,045.
